Vintage 31" bronze french neoclassical empire lion footed table lamp poppy leaf23" to socket
31" to finial
The lamp sits atop a solid bronze truncated trefoil base which has floral detailing inscribed into its bevel and is not patinated.
The empire column is supported by a bronze base of 3 lions feet which is patinated to a gold tone. The base was cast in 3 parts and joined together.
A separate piece of bronze, also cast in 3 parts, drapes over the lions feet base decorated with naturalistic leaf details.
The column was cast in 4 parts and starts with a gold tone patinated inverted poppy, textured with more leaf detailing. Then it opens up to a gold tone patinated support to the traditional fluted empire column which features the natural unpatinated bronze color. The column is topped with additional gold tone patinated support details before opening up with the more modern Leviton socket and topped with its original bronze finial which was cast in 2 parts.
